A battery of tests involving the language modalities of speech, comprehension, reading and writing were administered to an aphasic subject who presented with a predictable fluctuation in intracranial pressure. Results revealed a consistency in performance in the two situations, across all modalities. The subject's performance was found to be of a concrete nature, demonstrating a cognitive deficit concomitant with his linguistic impairment.
